Eventually this less than 10 yard a play offense bites you in the arse. It doesn't keep an opposing defense honest.

It usually bites us in the playoffs - but im afraid we won’t have to worry about that happening this year.

 

[Alaina]

nah, there are more, but there is definitely one major issue I would point to in this game before Brees’ arm

Which one? Our entire defense?

 

[nolaswede]

You see something different?

You know it’s a rough night when you have to quote your own post to feel good about your Sunday!

LOL this game is so not on Brees. Last two games, yeah... you could argue that. But tonight he was fine.

I feel the same way. Brees started to look like himself today, but the defense is committing too many penalties. You can tell teams are starting to just take deep shots because they know we’re going to commit DPI.

also...Cam needs to show up

Penalties, turnovers at critical times. What more can this team do that they haven't done in recent years? Eventually this less than 10 yard a play offense bites you in the arse. It doesn't keep an opposing defense honest.

Payton has receivers running 3 and 4 yard routes late in the fourth quarter when we need a first down. If teams get more than a 7 point lead midwy through the 4th quarter no way saints can come back. Where is Winston? He could have made a difference. Drew took a 90 seconds to drive 50 yards. Remember last year when he drove 47 yards in 12 seconds to beat Houston. That Drew Brees is gone. The pack game planned for Hill so he was a non- factor. Brees and Hill make 30 million/year and they are ineffective.

We’ve been throwing 5 yard passes for 14 years. Everybody used to say it’s in place of our running game. Now it’s a problem? The other teams won’t let us throw deep. Don’t drink the media kool-aid. They literally posted a graphic during the game about how we throw short passes for the last 6 years

Or in the very least, the refs will throw the flag no matter what.

I'll admit a few of them really were PI, but a couple of them I'm pretty sure the refs were dipping LSD on.

But I'll say this much...if Kamara wasn't out there like he was playing Madden on Easy today...the Saints would have probably been blown out. I still don't think that Brees is to blame today...but I think that Kamara saved him from that blame. Pretty sure on that one.

Really? We scored 27 points in just over 3 quarters.Yeah, I’m disappointed that we can’t/won’t thrown the ball downfield. However, that is not why we lost the game.

 

[Saint Kamara]

It's a huge problem defenses don't have to worry about anything stretching the field. Everything is predictable...

Yeah scoring only 30 points isn't gonna cut it folks. Shame on Brees.

Did Brees throw a single pass that was beyond 10 yards today? I know that the Sanders TD was 10 yards.

 

[Synch007]

And one fan wants to correct me for saying this is a huge factor with these outcomes. Loved what you said!

 

[Synch007]

Kamara you mean? Now you got it right...

 

[TheGooch]

ok Im gonna take the heat for saying it...where yat Jameis...lets see what ya got

 

[nickj009]

Defense has been hot garbage

Brees did us right today

Refs hate us...is there a more penalized team in the league?
